Preserving for the future: Shell scripts, AoC, and more

gitlab

Gitlab, as far as I know, does not have a quick-and-dirty area for snippets in the fashion of Gists on GitHub. My choice was to stick all my gists in a single repository. Here is how I got it done.

This script saves to the current directory all your gists, each to its named folder with an additional file “description” with the gist description since I couldn’t find it inside the git repo for a gist.

#movingtogitlab

I do not use social media, unless github, gitlab, or WordPress.com count. But, here is my hashtag for the week: #movingtogitlab.

With the disheartening news about a week ago of a malevolent force taking over the community darling github.com, I have decided to move my projects to gitlab. Plus, I was awakened to the fact that github’s value-added bits are closed source. Well, what an interesting situation! And I was just getting a few stars on some of my repositories too.
